On Thursday February 9, 2012, Deputies from the Echols County Sheriff's Office were attempting to serve a bond revocation order on Raymond Lee Carter Jr. age 41, at his residence of 323 Pete Road. After no response from the residence deputies noticed in plain view a 22. caliber rifle located in Carterâs vehicle, which was parked near the door of the residence.
